He-man should be played by Dolph Ziggler and Dwayne Johnson for Skeletor !

Switch those two around and you'll be on to something. Dolph is too short, too lean, and has way too high pitch a voice to be taken seriously as He-Man. Dwayne on the other hand is tall, imposing, muscular, and has already proved he can play the barbarian/warrior role well.

Well, he’s right really. It would have taken type-casting to a whole new level. I say give it to his younger brother, Liam. He hasn't got a franchise of his own yet. He's got the looks and the acting chops. A no brainer, IMO.

I would prefer an animated movie over live action. There's more you can do with it, both effects and casting wise, plus an animated movie would appeal to kids.

With that said, for live action, you have to have someone physically imposing, in great shape, but gentle too to pull off the character. I hate to say this, because I hate his character on TV, but John Cena might be a good fit. He meets those qualities. Never saw "The Marine", but Cena might have enough acting ability to pull off the role of He-Man. Just needs to grow some hair.

I too hope they don't get some wrestler. I'd rather have a skinnier actor who can act, then a huge wrestler/body builder who just walks around with a dumb look on his face.

That's so true. It's be like the original Conan movie all over again!

I think he (Hemsworth) is right, personally. He's got all the right qualifications, but, particularly given the massive fan-base crossover, I think with the sheer volume of similarities you'd look at him as He-man, and see Thor in the back of your mind. For a lot of people it'd be difficult to 'switch that off' and concentrate on the movie.
